MasukTwo years ago, she was convicted of deliberately injuring the woman he loved. To him, her crime was unforgivable. He had her found guilty and was thrown into prison, destroying not only her leg but also every shred of her pride. Now, two years later, she believes she has finally clawed her way out of hell. She swears never to cross paths with him again, never to let their life interact again. But some devils never let go. And the man who once ruined her… is the very one who refuses to release her.

She flipped through them one by one. At first, nothing seemed too incriminating—just Dominic Lancaster and Isabella Crater appearing in the same frame, nothing more. But as she turned to the latter pages, her entire body stiffened.Her eyes burned red. She lifted one photo up with shaking fingers, her voice laced with anguish and fury. “When did this happen? Why—why are you only telling me now?”The man shifted uneasily, glancing nervously toward the door as though afraid of being caught. “This morning. I… I took them this morning.”Sophia’s voice cracked, rage boiling beneath her despair. “This morning? And you waited until now? If I had known earlier, maybe I could’ve stopped—”“Stopped what?” the man cut her off, rubbing his temples with frustration. “Miss Harrington, what would you have done? Stormed into Mirage Club to cause a scen
The older man didn’t bother to hide the disgust on his face. “Dreams Club has always been known for quality, so how could you possibly hire someone like her as an employee?”The door to the private room closed behind him, muffling his words, but Isabella heard them all the same.At first, such remarks used to sting—anger, humiliation, helplessness. But after hearing them over and over again, the wounds dulled. Now, all she felt was a tired kind of numbness.Then, suddenly, a pair of women’s shoes appeared in front of her.“Here,” a gentle voice said.Something was passed into Isabella’s hand before she could refuse. By the time she looked up, Nina had already run off.Isabella slowly opened her palm.It was a business card.Nina Miller Best & Millers Law GroupDream Club – General Manager’s OfficeDominic Lancaster sat on the sofa. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting pale shadows against his white dress shirt, the high collar cutting clean lines along his throat. His prese
Ding.The elevator chimed, and a burst of noisy voices carried down the hall. “Hey, hurry up and come see! Someone’s actually—oh, she’s still in a cleaner’s uniform—”The speaker immediately shut when his gaze landed on the man in front of them.D–Dominic Lancaster?!The noisy group, who had rushed out eager to gawk, instantly stiffened. Excitement drained from their faces, replaced with ashen fear. None of them dared to laugh or whisper again. They stood frozen in the corridor, caught between running away and pretending they hadn’t seen a thing.Dominic’s expression turned arctic. With one hand, he stripped off his tailored jacket and threw it over Isabella’s shoulders, shielding her from view. His tall figure loomed protectively in front of her, his voice colder than ice. “Still standing there? Or do you need me to escort you out personally?”“No, no, not at all! We’ll… we’ll leave right away!” The man at the front stammered, his curiosity instantly suffocated. Not one of them dar
“Don’t waste your time,” Dominic said coldly, his hand gripping Isabella’s chin, forcing her to look up at him. His touch was rough, uncompromising. “No matter who you try to seduce, none of them have the power to get you out of here.”She didn’t fight his hold, but her voice was quiet and strained. “And you?” she whispered. “Will you let me go?”Something flickered in Dominic’s eyes at her words. He studied her split lip, the faint trace of blood on her pale skin. For a fleeting second, his hand shifted upward, fingers brushing dangerously close to her mouth. The movement was instinctive, almost tender—until his brows tightened, and his hand withdrew before making contact.The faint hope in her chest cracked. Isabella’s lips curved, a broken attempt at a smile. Nothing came out except the sting in the corners of her eyes.Dominic’s jaw hardened. The sight of her, looking as though she were mourning some other man, struck him like a blade. His expression darkened, his voice biting.
